    Spaghetti with Sriracha Shrimp, Cilantro and Lime

    Serves 4

    Recipe by Rebekah Peppler

    INGREDIENTS

    1 lb spaghetti

    3 tablespoons olive oil

    1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed

    3 tablespoons sriracha

    juice of 2 limes

    1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped

    kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

    PREPARATION

    Cook 1 lb spaghetti according to package directions, until al dente. Drain through a colander, reserving about a cup of the pasta water.

    In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, and shrimp . Season with just a little bit of salt and pepper (there's lots of seasoning in the garlic-chili sauce, so be careful not to overdo it!). Cook until the shrimp are pink and start to curl, about 3 minutes, flipping halfway through.When shrimp are cooked, add sriracha and toss to coat the shrimp. Add the cooked spaghetti, 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water, chopped cilantro (reserving about a tablespoon for garnish), and the juice of 2 limes. Toss until combined.

    Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the remaining cilantro.

    For this recipe, you'll need a 12-inch skillet and a large pot to cook the pasta.

    You can get a great skillet here (pictured left, worth the price, will last forever) or a more affordable decent one here. Any stock pot that's at least 8 quarts will work, but a 12-quart pot (pictured right) is your best bet. Get a simple one here.
